With my architectural photography, I am on the search for the aesthetic qualities of buildings in their urban spatial effect. Above all, I am interested in the visual richness.

Fascination of the Faces of Buildings: In architecture, the term facade refers to the outwardly visible wall surfaces of a building that communicate with the viewer and tell stories. In most of his photographs, Nguyen does not show an overall view of a building, but a look at the details and particularities. For Michael Nguyen, buildings are sculptures that show the viewer five facades, four side walls and the roof.

Seduction through the Geometric, the Regular, the Symmetrical : The pictures confront us with unique views of elements. They focus on the colors and shapes in detail and leave aside the manifold abundance of the surroundings. In this way, they unfold the power of the Particular: Something familiar, but exactly like this we have not seen things before. Nguyen likes to play with the seduction of the geometric, the regular, the symmetrical.

I love shadows when they go together with light. Light and shadow are all about photography. It’s like yin and yang, disorder and order, fire and water. The interplay between those elements makes everything interesting. The light gives birth to shadow. And in shadows, we can conjure up what is there.

We can only see ourselves through reflections. In the mirror, on water, and on every shiny surface. The truth is, our reflections are coming from anything that reflects light, which is everything not completely dark. So we see ourselves in the meat we eat, in the wine we drink, the job we do, in the clothes we wear, in our parents, our children, our friends, in the closets. In others’ eyes as well in their words and actions. To us and to themselves. We can even see the past through its reflections coming from a billion light-years. The world is somehow our own reflection.

Biography
Michael Nguyen is a German photographer born in 1958 and based in Gauting, Germany. In 1980 he made his first photographic work with a Nikon F3 in Berlin. Since 2018, Nguyen has been focusing on his ongoing series called "By the Roadside", which is his main artistic focus. According to him, if we walk with our eyes open, we can see interesting, beautiful and sometimes ugly things along the road every day. And if we walk not only with our eyes, but also with our hearts and minds open, we will discover a world that would otherwise remain closed to us. This world can be spectacular or ordinary, but surprisingly miraculous. Nguyen accompanies us on small trips through places in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria and elsewhere, to discover where chance takes us. Since 2021, Nguyen has focused exclusively on architectural photography, with an artistic component that intentionally interprets buildings away from reality.

Eight Shades of Grey: The Facade of the Med Campus Graz photographed by Michael Nguyen
View the new article about Michael Nguyen’s photography
The Med Campus Graz, designed by Riegler Riewe Architekten, corresponds to the regularity and objectivity of the graphic facade drawing. The HBK Module 2 was completed in the fall of 2022 and is to be opened on May 12, 2023. HBK Module 1 was completed and opened in the fall of 2017. The pictures by Michael Nguyen show the buildings and facades of both modules.
Michael Nguyen, an architectural photographer known for his stunning and unique captures of modern facade architecture, has beautifully captured the building’s design and essence. His images showcase the building’s intricate details, from the striking angular lines to the way the natural light illuminates the grey facade. The photos respect the subdued tones and the low-key colors of the building while highlighting the fascinating lines, the digital play of gray shades, and surprising green elements as well stunning sculptures/installation artworks.

Masquerade on the Street Stages: Visual Urban Highlights, written by Prof. Dr. Rainer Funke
Michael Nguyen has expertly captured the Masterpieces of Facade Art by Architects Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, including iconic structures like the Munich Re in Munich, the ADAC Headquarters in Munich, the M9 Museum in Venice, the GSW Headquarters in Berlin, and the Brandhorst Museum in Munich. With precision photography, Nguyen examines the intricate details of these visual highlights, showcasing the beauty of urban architecture. Prof. Dr. Phil. Rainer Funke, founding dean of the Design Department at Potsdam University, provides his expert analysis of Nguyen’s photographic masterpieces, highlighting the intricate and artistic facades of iconic buildings designed by renowned architects Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton.
Facades are not the faces of buildings, even if we like this metaphor, and the term itself goes back to the Italian “faccia” and the Latin “facies” (face). Almost inextricably linked to their support, building envelopes are usually far too little dynamically linked to the typicity, diversity, and liveliness of the building’s interior to communicate this to the outside like a face.
Even with glass facades, there is rarely any real transparency due to the numerous reflections and defensive strategies of the users.
